Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Shangtai has always been obedient to Lin Yuan, and soon entrusted the ambassador in Beijing to report the news to the three major Western news agencies in Beijing, and then Lin Yuan instructed Shen Wanqing to keep an eye on the reactions of Western countries.

In the conference room of the Beijing ship, Han Mingguang and others sat together, as well as the experts on the Beijing ship. To everyone's surprise, almost all experts, regardless of professional categories, were invited this time.

When Lin Yuan saw that everyone had arrived, he said straight to the point: "Many comrades have asked me why they didn't just sink the Japanese warships when they captured Lushun, but diverted them away with Peking ships; When retreating at the port, many comrades thought that I would let the carrier-based planes sink the Japanese ships, but I did not issue that order. Now, I will explain the reason to you.”

This is a question that everyone has always been concerned about, and they all wanted to ask, so everyone looked at Lin Yuan intently, and Lin Yuan said: "We all know that without our time travel, Japan would have won the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], and then would have fought against Russia." Competing for the interests of Northeast China, the Russo-Japanese War broke out in [-]. In this war, the Japanese fleet defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet from afar in the Tsushima Strait. This naval battle has a profound impact on the history of world military technology. profound influence."

"This naval battle is a naval battle dominated by cannons. All the results are achieved by cannons. Prior to this, the Western world has always used the 1866 Lisa naval battle as a reference. The Tsushima naval battle, The direction of everyone's thinking has been turned into a large ship and giant guns, that is to say, if you want to win a naval battle, you must rely on large-caliber artillery, and if you want to install large-caliber artillery, you must increase the hull!" "I don't know Have you noticed that due to our crossing, this process has been interrupted, and the military technology of various countries in the world has begun to develop in a direction that is unfamiliar to us. Take the example we just saw, the Japanese army has begun to use new types of fortifications, and began to use gas The most important thing about hydraulic anti-recoil system guns is that they have started to use airships, which shows that they are gradually paying attention to the development of the air force."

"Is it possible for Western countries in this era to build airplanes? The answer is yes. The Russian Zhukovsky has deduced the lift formula, and the Germans have developed the internal combustion engine. As for the propeller used for propulsion, everyone here The comrades in the engine department and the ship propulsion system know that the propellers used in ships and aircrafts are similar in purpose. In modern designs, the parent shapes of the airfoil sections of the two are basically the same. Times have changed a little bit.”

"In the original era, aircraft appeared in 1903, but why did it not get large-scale application until World War II? The technical reason is one aspect, and more: many high-level leaders do not understand new technologies. Conservative thinking greatly delayed the development of aircraft. For example, when humans first launched carrier-based aircraft, high-level military officials agreed to the experiment, but the sponsors had to collect funds for the experiment and find the aircraft themselves; even on the day of World War I, During the Battle of Deland, the British originally prepared a warship carrying aircraft, but on the eve of the battle, before the fleet left the port, they did not notify the commander of the warship!"

"And our emergence is entirely possible to break this stereotype and barrier. Aircraft will be able to enter the stage of war on a large scale half a century earlier. Some comrades may not take it seriously, thinking that our fighter jets are supersonic and have over-the-horizon radar. , there are ultra-long-range missiles that hunt and kill the enemy's early warning aircraft, there are medium-range missiles that can be ignored after launch, and there are close-range combat missiles with a maneuverable overload of up to 0.8, to deal with propeller propulsion that even flies to [-] times the speed of sound. Isn't the plane a piece of cake?"

"Comrades with this idea must not know much about aircraft. The most fundamental cornerstone of fighter jet design is: design purpose! It is what it is designed for and who is the main opponent. Our fighter jets are designed to compete with the world. The most powerful countries compete for air superiority. Our opponents are f-22, tu-50, these fourth-generation fighter jets. When we face hundreds or thousands of aircraft with wooden wings, we will find that, Our fighters are out of reach!"

"We can shoot down ten or a hundred of the enemy. After that? Our ammunition cannot be replenished, our fuel is exhausted, and the number of engine hours has reached the limit. At that time, we will encounter disaster. Now China, the industrial base is too Poor, we have to start from scratch, and it’s hard to say when we can manufacture aircraft in large quantities! Because the aviation industry is based on other industries, without those industries, the aviation industry is a castle in the sky that cannot be built!”

Lin Yuan stopped, looked at the crowd, and asked, "Do you understand?" Seeing that everyone nodded, Lin Yuan went on to say, "What I want to do is, through a naval battle, to bring the eyes of the Westerners back to the world again." Introduced back to the big guns of the big ships, thereby slowing down the development of the enemy's aircraft, while we, under the circumstances, made great strides in the development of the aviation industry, so that we established a long-term technological advantage! And the Japanese warships, This is our great opportunity!" Lin Yuan said again: "I have been thinking, how can we attract the attention of the Westerners, the Japanese will definitely not tell the Westerners all the news, they will definitely tell us about the aircraft. We kept it under wraps and developed ourselves in secret, so we want Westerners to pay attention to us, just as the Japanese attacked our merchant fleet, I asked the King of Ryukyu to announce to the world that Ryukyu will send a fleet to attack the Japanese fleet!"

"In the eyes of Westerners, Ryukyu is like an ant. They don't even know that Ryukyu has a navy, but Japan, compared with them, is like an elephant. Now, an ant is sending a message to the entire animal kingdom. I announced that I am going to punish the elephant that trampled the ant to death. What do you think the Westerners will think? When the Ryukyu Fleet cleanly knocked down the Japanese fleet, the ant killed the elephant with one bite! The Westerners will definitely Carefully study this naval battle! When the time comes, we will induce them again, and the Westerners will never return on the road of big ships and giant guns!"

The people present understood what Lin Yuan meant, but a bigger question arose in their minds. What it was, they could not explain clearly. Lin Yuan went on to say: "In this era, we are the group of People outside the technical death row, as long as the method is right, we can let the enemy enter the cell willingly, and when they think of coming out, they have already paid a very heavy price!"

Han Mingguang asked: "Deng Shichang is now leading the Ryukyu Fleet. Do you want to use them? This is the problem. It will make your plan impossible. That is: without our air help, they It is impossible for those warships to defeat the current Japanese warships!" Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, we just want to use those warships, and we don't need to use them all, as long as four are enough, and I have already figured it out Find out how to defeat the Japanese warships!"

Han Mingguang asked, "What is it?"

Lin Yuan said: "There is no rush for this, I have to solve a more important problem first."
